CALL TO ORDER ROLL CALL OF COUNCIL MEMBERS APPROVAL OF MINUTES PUBLIC MEETING Proposed align ment(s) for the Grady Way Bridge Replacement Proj. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL City Hall COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING Council Chambers MINUTES Council President Bohrer called the Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Meeting to order. LIONEL C. BOHRER, Council President; MABEL J. HARRIS, J. REID JOHANSON, DANIEL J. SAUL, DWAYNE D. TRAYNOR, GARY L. VAN DUSEN. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 24, 1979 BE APPROVED AS PUBLISHED. CARRIED. Terence Monaghan, Public Works Director, explained the three proposed alternates for the proposed alignment of the Grady Way Bridge. He pointed out on the wall map that Alternate 1 would permit the current bridge to remain in service during construction. Alternate 2 would require acquisition of additional rights -of -way. Alternate 2A would be an inland alignment. Cost estimates were discussed and Mr. Monaghan said Alternate 1 would cost 6.2 million dollars; Alternate 2 would cost 6.3 million dollars requiring 1.0 million dollars in rights -of -way costs; Alternate 2A would cost 5.0 million requiring $750,000 in rights -of -way costs. Mr. Joseph Matsen, attorney for Jacob Neilsen, stated Mr. Neilsen owned property that would be affected by the bridge replacement. He pointed out Mr. Neilsen's property on the wall map, showing the location of his home and farm buildings. He stated there had been no title reports on the rights -of -way and his client felt the actual right -of -way should be south of the one shown on the wall map. He said Mr. Neilsen does not object to Alternate 1, it would not interfere with the operation of his business. He said he was at the meeting to learn about the project. Mr. Matsen continued that Alternate 2 would be built across a field owned by Mr. Neilsen and it would destroy his usability of that field. This alternate is not as pleasing to Mr. Neilsen and Mr. Neilsen feels the estimate of the cost for the right -of -way is low according to recent property sales in the area. Mr. Matsen said Mr. Neilsen's property would be affected in about the same manner and his comments for Alternate 2A would be the same. He stated that the fourth alternate that had not been discussed but that connected directly to Southcenter Boulevard was Mr. Neilsen's preferred alternative. Council President Bohrer asked if the project would require the purchase of the entire 10 acres that Mr. Neilsen owns? Mr. Matsen said when you cut a ten acre field many times it would probably be cheaper for the City to take the entire ten acres. Mr. Monaghan, Public Works Director, said the location of the rights -of -way were determined from existing records and they have not been verified. Mr. Limaye, URS Company, said the rights -of -way would require a total take of 13 acres and approximately 4.5 acres were Mr. Neilsen's property. Council President Bohrer asked if Alternates 2 or 2A are used, would the rights -of -way where the bridge is located be available for some other use? Mr. Monaghan said it would be available for other use. City Council.. Members discussed the fact that Alternates 2 or 2A would require a total replacement of the bridge and it would have to come down. Mr. Monaghan, Public Works Director, said an evaluation would be made of the comments offered during this public meeting. He said the City of Renton has not held their public meeting. As soon as they have received input from their meeting, the representatives from the two cities will combine information and present it to the City Councils. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ALIGNMENT(S) FOR THE GRADY WAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT BE ON THE AGENDA OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING AFTER THE CITY OF RENTON HAS HELD THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS.

Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, explained the estimate of $109,200 for the basic project would be for a total system in Area 1 less all sprinklers not on greens or Holes No. 1 and 18. Alternate No. 1 for an estimated $76,224 would be the remainder of sprinklers in Area 1. Alternate No. 2 for an estimated $46,353 would be for the total system in Area 2. The estimate by the consultant for the entire project would be $231,777. Mr. Stoknes said he would propose that the City go to bid with the intent of not overspending the golf course fund so there would be an adequate allowance for contingencies. Councilman Saul stated it was a hot dry summer and the golf course did look bad. Mr. Stoknes remarked the City should get a winter bid on the work, as the sprinkler system cannot be installed during the summer when more people are using the course. Councilman Traynor said the people voted to have a golf course and he felt it should be kept in good condition. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE CITY GO OUT TO BID FOR THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR FOSTER GOLF COURSE. CARRIED. Mayor Bauch said revenue bonds could be issued for the sprinkler system and the golf course could pay for it. He said he felt the City should call for the full bid with Alternates 1 and 2; although he recommended sprinklers for Area No. 1 first to see the results that will be obtained. Councilman Harris remarked that the sprinkler system would make the work much easier for the management. Mr. Stoknes said the golf course contract expires in 1981 and he recommended no renegotiation at this time. The City will have to go out to bid on it again when it expires. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT THE DATES OF OCTOBER 22, 1979 AND NOVEMBER 26, 1979 BE SET AS THE PUBLIC HEARING DATES FOR PROPOSED ZONING FOR THE RIVERTON ANNEXATION AREA. CARRIED. Mayor Bauch stated the Riverton area has petitioned for zoning prior to annexation. The zoning has been through the Planning Commission. Mayor Bauch said the City Attorney has proposed this ordinance. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE RELATING TO CRIMINAL ATTEMPT AND PRESCRIBING PENALTIES BE ON THE AGENDA OF THE OCTOBER 15, 1979 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. CARRIED. Chairman Saul said the proposed ordinance regarding discrimination against children by apartments would be considered at the committee meeting on October 24, 1979. Chairman Harris said the next committee meeting would be held as scheduled. Chairman Van Dusen said the Committee had no report to be made at this time. Chairman Johanson stated street conditions along the Doubletree Inn construction site was being discussed. There will be a further report on this subject. Mayor Bauch suggested the Council discontinue the Tuesday night meetings the City Council has held where they have discussed the proposed zoning ordinance. He said the Public Hearings to be conducted by the Planning Commission are scheduled to commence and the City Council may have an entirely different document to look at after it has been through the public hearings. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DISCONTINUE THE PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW UNTIL THE PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE BEEN HELD. CARRIED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING October 8, 1979 Page 3 OTHER Contd. 1979 River Run City Dump Location. Sex offenses on City Trails. ADJOURNMENT 8:35 P.M. S Po Councilman Saul announced Fournier Newspapers are sponsoring a 10,000 meter River Run on Saturday, October 27, 1979 at 10:00 a.m. The registration fee will be $3.00 and there will be awards. All proceeds of the race will go to South King County Handicapped and Kiwanis Club Projects, co- sponsored by Tukwila Kiwanis and Fournier Newspapers in cooperation with the City of Tukwila. Ed Robinson, 6433 South 153rd, Tukwila, said he had a complaint about the location of the City dumpster that is to be placed in view of his living room. He said he felt it was also a health factor when it was so close to his home and was a source of noise. Councilman Traynor said the Mayor had suggested it be located at the old City Hall. If it is located at the old City Hall site it would be just four or five blocks from the park and the location could be added to the sign. Mayor Bauch said there was no reason it could not be moved to that location. Mayor Bauch said there have been no reported sex offenses on the City trails. He said the reported incident on Klickitat leading up from Southcenter was not on the trail and it was a case of exposure.
